Check out www.geocities.com/ben_passer/time.html to see my counter for the time until move-in day (midnight), which was made using a Java Applet that is referenced from html within the geocities page. It's terribly inefficient, and the concepts behind it are pretty basic, but then again I just started reading about Applets about a week ago.

Here's the general layout:

Make Labels and Button (Labels have no text); Add everything; set Button as an ActionListener; actionPerformed: Remove Button; Set text for Label showing format; Enter an infinite loop: Set text for Label showing time using a Date object with no constructor arguments (current time) and another Date object with the move-in day (constant update from loop gives the counter effect)

I might decide to add some colors and stuff later, but then again it won't really exist for all that much longer.
